Question 1- Yes
The clickwheel is covered with the tubes, screen protectors are a dime a dozen anywere. I cut my own from universal screen protectors you can buy at Compusa, Best Buy etc. You can make 30 for $5 and change 2x a year.

ipodstreet has some out, not official tubes, but not bad, more expensive though. I'll wait for the official apple ones come out.

Chris,

You're correct wrt nanotubes.

For 3rd party skins with screen protection, I've always preferred iskin.com...pricier than Speck and others, but with a much better fit and style IMHO. I believe every skin company is working on nano products...just check their websites. (You can easily find vendors by looking at cases reviews on ilounge.com)

It's no skin for my nano though....it feel too good in the hand for me to coat it in dust-gathering latex. I'm not having scratch problems and I carry it in my front jeans pocket
(do I have scratches...yes!
are they easy to polish out with Novus or iceCream...yes
do they bother me or look ugly to others I show it to...no!)

[Now if I were hiking, I'd definitely skin it.]

Good luck, and I hope you find something you like!
Tom
